Courtship and the Scarcity Mindset

Are you struggling with a scarcity mindset? This defaulted mindset usually comes from a place of lack and feeling as though there aren’t enough options for Marriage or few good options for courtship, often due to your own actions or lack thereof. This can be extremely hindering when it comes to meeting quality matches, especially for Muslims seeking marriage! Muslims who are serious about wanting to meet a good mate have to remain positive and proactive in their own love and social life in order to find a good partner. That means putting in the work! If you’re dead set on feeling you’re limited you will always see the journey to marriage from a limited lens. That’s depressing! You’ll need a positive mindset and attitude in order to attract the man or woman you desire. No one wants a negative, limited beliefs tooting person in their life.

Here are ways to battle the Scarcity Mentality.
